An Evaluation of CASE Tools
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools are important for systems/software development and implementation. CASE tools can be used to reduce the cost and time of system/software development while improving the quality of the product developed. In addition, CASE tools enable the user to present information and knowledge compactly and in a uniform manner for ease of communication. CASE tools may provide support for structured/traditional methods, object-oriented (OO) methodologies or both. Current research on CASE tool evaluation has increasingly focused on OO. Even though the industry is being led towards object-oriented approaches, the ability of a CASE tool to support both object-oriented and structured design methodologies can be especially beneficial for teaching systems development. Information systems (IS) university programs teach structured and/or OO methodologies. In this research, we evaluate the two CASE tools, Visible Analyst® and Rational® Rose which are two of the most widely used tools in IS programs. This paper explicates the features of Visible Analyst® and Rational® Rose which can be used by educators in the CASE tool selection process.
